The scissor jacks at the corners of the trailers are not really jacks. Those are just "stabilizers". You're not supposed to used them to actually
lift or level the trailer. What might be useful to get the back of your GMC off the ground is one of these:

It is listed as 8800 lbs (4 tons) lift capacity.
